There should be a way to pool standard dictionaries somewhere, such as a "standard english text corpus data" dictionary, that you can then download on demand for encoding, say, BLOB text fields in a database with little to no overhead.

The way this would probably work without this facility though, say, in a database, is that the dictionary is maintained internally and constructed on the fly from the field data and not exposed to users. Although, I don't know if you'd have to keep every version of the dictionary in order to successfully decompress old data? If so then perhaps this is a niche feature
Please don't use words that have a real medical meaning in such an inaccurate and casual way. Calling things addictive has real consequences in terms of legislators taking these confused public sentiments as fact and then trying to use force against the groups that are "addicted". Addiction has never been proven in this context.

Addiction is a a real, serious problem with drugs that effect the brains reward system (opioids) or prediction of reward (amphetamines). It is not a real problem associated with using online forums using a computer.

Another big difference is constant availability. A decade ago, the moment you walked away from your computer the shock sites were memories. Twenty years ago, the moment you walked away from your phone most of the social drama were memories. The most that most of us do now is stuff it into our pockets.

Aside from the psychological differences with teens, we also have to consider that they aren't being exposed to this environment "in moderation". They don't really have the opportunity to think about their responses to it.
Pictures of A10's that made it back home despite heavy damage are interesting. The cockpit is surrounded by a titanium bathtub, so the pilot is fairly well protected, and there's a theme of armor in the right places and simplicity/redundancy all around.

> I think a lot more people would cite Pratchett as a direct influence on their philosophy of life than you'd expect.

I don't doubt you're right, but that doesn't make it a necessarily great idea.

And, by the way, I'm not dismissing every philosophical point wrapped up in a Pratchett novel as nonsense (for one thing, I can't remember them all, and there are a few of his books I haven't read). But I am saying that in this specific instance the argument is weak and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Still, I stand by my point: the main purpose of these books is that they're fun, not that they're a handbook for thinking and living.
I think it's obvious that the calves and some of the cows are eventually sent for slaughter. A small dairy like the one above can only maintain so many animals at a time.

This is a dairy farm, so it should not be expected to abide by the ethics of vegan people. I posted the article, so I feel compelled to apologise if this was the impression it gives. For me it was obvious that the cows and the calves are eventually meat for eating.

Edit: Note that calves are normally killed for meat at a time between 12-18 weeks. The idea of this system is to avoid causing undue distress to the cows by taking away their calves too early. This is a valid concern as some people do not like to eat very young animals and are uncomfortable with the distress caused to cows separated from their calves immediately after birth, as is typical in industrial farming.
I used those methods too, but I don't have the dogmatic opinion that loops are not "clean code".
Event Immutability and Dealing with Change
I'm on day 3 of exactly that (deleted reddit, Facebook, reddit, Whatsapp, and Signal, and switched to a dumb phone). No idea how this will pan out, but personally I feel so much better already. I am also significantly more focussed and productive, and am already able to enjoy tasks that previously seemed boring in comparison to endlessly refreshing reddit and the like. I'm also in a country that is not so steeped in technology, and thus not as far down the path of general life becoming dependnet on it.

Just think about that - you denpend on big tech for the very media through which you perform the majority of interactions with your "friends".
Well there is the attention economy, and then there is also social media which facilitates comparison to your actual peers not mere aspirational influencer types. No doubt both are bad more mental health, but I wonder what the breakdown is. For example, maybe less Instagram more TikTok might actually be marginally good for people's mental health.

The SEC disagrees

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/robinhood-sec-fine-65-million/

"Federal officials said that between 2015 and 2018 the company only partially explained on its online FAQ page how it makes money, omitting details about its largest revenue source — trades. Robinhood takes a user's stock order and sells it to a larger trading firm that executes the trade, a process known as "payment for order flow," the SEC order states."
For space opera stuff, I really liked Ann Leckie's Ancillary Sword https://annleckie.com/novel/ancillary-justice/ series and Corey's The Expanse stuff (I read the books after watching the series).

For transhuman stuff, Brin's Kiln People, Morgan's Altered Carbon, and Scalzi's Old Man's War were fun.

Along the lines of epics like Asimov's Foundation and Banks' Culture, nothing springs to mind. Sadness. That's probably my favorite genre.
The difference between avoidance and evasion is very important. One of them is legal and economically encouraged, the other one is an accusation of a crime.

Also, most people learn this in high school. Calling it evasion when it is avoidance only confuses people as to what you mean, and makes people think you don't know what the terms mean.

> My neighbor, a self-employed painter, claiming his work truck (that he also uses to pull the family camper) as a depreciating business asset is tax avoidance, and I can get behind that. Ikea registering as a nonprofit with 99% overhead is tax evasion, and it's scummy.

But objectively speaking, you are aware it's the exact opposite? It's like trying to defend a function in C that causes UB by claiming it works on your machine. Yes, ok, but it is still UB. Your opinion does not change that, or what other people assume you mean when you say things.
The issue most people seem to have with IB/Storyboards is that they're incredibly difficult for multiple people to work on. They're huge, dense XML files, so trying to solve a merge conflict is a challenge to say the least.

It's been a long while since I've done much iOS dev but I also recall when learning Storyboards that there were lots of things that just seemed half baked or poorly thought out.

For example, the only way to set a corner radius from the UI was to type the key-path of the layer property into a "Runtime Attributes" input, in a totally separate tab from the rest of the visual properties.

I also recall headaches over things like setting the colour of the status bar, or titles on Navigation controllers, where the runtime value would often be different to what IB showed for some reason.
Telephoto means long focal length. (Long not “high”).

It’s not true that only a handful of pixels would be left with a modern sensor.

The point is that perspective is a result of distance from the subject or subjects. Long lenses make it convenient to work from further away without having to crop later, but the key thing is distance. If you shoot portraits from too close they will look bad regardless of lens and later cropping. If you shoot a crowd from close up, that intimacy is baked into the pictures.
It's not possible to know what caused my myopia - all I can do is guess based on the current evidence around the subject. Which is not as conclusive as you seem to think - the jury is still out on this subject.

I can't speak to the bigger picture but I ordered an AMD-based laptop on Dec. 23, initial arrival date was Feb. 2, it was moved five times and is now Apr. 1. When I called I was told they (lenovo) were waiting for AMD to "make more".
And what that means, practically speaking, is that unlike other places in the world, we can speak out against the government and not worry about going to prison for it. That was the intention of it, and we still have that. Whether content critical of the government converts well enough for a company to allow it to stay on their platform is a different question, and hate speech

public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence toward a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation

yet another separate question.

You don't know if they shorted shares. Shorts are not disclosed on 13f's. Often times funds buy puts and short at the same time.

Melvin Capital, to file bankruptcy as soon as next week according to sources
consumers shopping for a DVD player weren't interested in a pricey upsell to play a tiny number of games

Yeah, people found this out in 1993 via the Pioneer LaserActive [0].

Nuon's angle was a little different though. They were trying to triple dip with licensing - license to the companies who make DVD players, the devs who make videogames as well as to movie studios for the DVD interactive features. That way, maybe they solve the problem of having to sell their own hardware at a loss to make it up in game sales (as most console makers do). Nintendo had done something like this in the past, licensing out their hardware to Sharp, who made the Twin Famicom and a TV with an NES built-in and would do it around the same time with the Panasonic Q GameCube.

It looks like they did the work in terms of getting in good with the hardware side, but the software side left a lot to be desired. As close as they were working with Toshiba, they should've also been working with EA...

I can echo this. I'm social media lite. I have very few social media platforms and that ones I have are limited or automated so I don't interact with them often.

I had to be deliberate about telling people I'm not going to see their post about xyz so they would have to text or call me if they want to invite me. Sure I probably miss some events but the ones I go to I know I'm wanted at.

Socializing passively at a gym or Jiu-Jitsu or some type of class is the main way I've built friend groups over the years.

Matt Levine said this a couple of days ago:

"Bloomberg tells me that short interest is 71.2 million shares, while GameStop has only 69.7 million shares outstanding." (As he explained in a footnote, this does not necessarily imply massive naked shorting.)

I don't know how things have changed since then. Maybe this morning would have been a good time for GameStop to issue more shares?
So...I bought the original Galaxy Note with the idea of using it as a pocket workstation. I had a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that easily connected and had a spot to clip the phone to, and when a larger screen was available, it could be connected via the USB port.

I thought it was something that I wanted, but I didn't.

Now the thing that I think I want is a mobile VR headset with chording keyboard. Ironically, the Galaxy Note can sorta fulfill that role, too. But not well. And I haven't yet discovered a chording keyboard that I like.

I want a VR-headset with chording keyboard workstation setup, then finally, I will be able to live my best dystopian-future life.
Prior to the sixth-gen consoles, there were no firmware updates. What made it out the door was it. I don't know if the PS2 or Dreamcast ever received software updates but the original Xbox included updates with newer games. Seventh-gen received online updates constantly. Toshiba was clearly just looking at what had come previously and didn't want to buck the trend.
The "but why" is essentially "because fuck those guys". I'm not sure there was any more than that.

As for who will profit, probably not the people who were shorting GME, but at this point it's impossible to say.

When I went to college, I could earn enough in one summer to pay for my tuition and books. Not my housing or anything else though. In the intervening 40 years, tuition costs have gone through the roof. There's no way that someone can work their way through school. Even community college in my town is expensive. Unless you can get an academic scholarship, or are very low income and get a needs based grant, you're stuck with loans.
Fossil fuels are not the only thing we do that cannot be carbon neutral though, such as construction with cement.

Additionally, carbon capture does not necessarily mean we are burning "fossil" fuels. Carbon capture could be using the Sabatier process to create methane from the CO2 in the air, which you then use to power rocketships/jets/etc, which we are still not very close to electrifying.
Just anecdotal, but I repasted my desktop after 5 years. With same load, same fan speed there was not a single degree change.
>How are we, the laymen, supposed to trust published, peer-reviewed papers?

You are not supposed to.

The laymen really isn't the intended audience of academic publications. The literature is always in flux and inherently unreliable as discoveries are claimed and over decades, proven true or false. Taking a snapshot of the literature at any one time is to accept that a proportion of the claimed truth will be false. Unfortunately the laymen doesn't get this, and they believe that published=true.

As a layman, you should be looking to sources of information that have been vetted for truth, like textbooks. Textbooks are made to distill the most reliable information from the literature by a team of experts.

One paper isn't truth, a dozen independent papers, all pointing to the same thing is. That is what we call the "scientific consensus".
I believe they're tracking related symptoms and disagreeing about the root cause.

This seems like a classic pump-and-dump scheme to me. The twist is that instead of claiming that the target company is going to start doing way better, they're claiming that the upside comes from hedge funds over-shorting the stock.

The people who are going to make a lot off this are the people who sell before the stock crashes. If those people were also suggesting others buy the stock on reddit, they may be criminally liable for securities fraud.
I am the developer of userTrack[0] and so far more than 2000 customers/companies chose to self-host userTrack. Most of them are on the smaller side (eg. under 1k daily users) but there're also several that get 1M+ monthly sessions. To respect customer privacy I won't directly mention any names.

I also use userTrack myself and it just feels right to store all your analytics data on your own servers and not share it with 3rd parties. That being said, maybe the "marketers" would be more excited to switch to a self-hosted platform if it has some extra features (like session recordings, heatmaps, A/B tests, etc.) than to switch from GA to a private solution that only offers basic data.

It’s really not. The lens is not the key thing it’s the distance from the subject. There is no flattening effect. Amateurs typically plant their feet and use variable focal length lenses to frame the shot, and are missing out on the perspective control you get from using your feet.

That seems weird because JPEGs are processed but in the camera based on parameters that the photographer programs.

> Many short sellers place a stop order with their stockbroker after selling a stock short—an order to the brokerage to cover the position if the price of the stock should rise to a certain level. This is to limit the loss and avoid the problem of unlimited liability described above. In some cases, if the stock's price skyrockets, the stockbroker may decide to cover the short seller's position immediately and without his consent to guarantee that the short seller can make good on his debt of shares.

Otherwise you'd make yourself liable for a literally unlimited sum of money. Any short could completely bankrupt your entire personal finances or your entire institution in that case.
One hedge fund making such a bet does not reflect the entirety of the profession.

My point is that the money these retail investors control due to leverage, recklessness and sheer numbers makes up for the higher AUM of professionals.

The story isn't over yet anyway, unlike with TSLA, literally nothing about GME justifies its current price. It remains to be seen how many of those "retards" are willing to YOLO away their money "for the lulz" and who is going to take their profits.

I think you're largely correct, but sometimes corporations can end up doing the "right thing" in the pursuit of good press or to serve brand marketing. I would say that IKEA doing environmental conservation is a good thing in this case, despite the company's motives for doing so being transparently self-serving. To me IKEA's reason for doing this is less important than the positive impact it will have.
